"I am doomed to remember a boy with a wrecked voice - not because of his voice, or because he was the smallest person I ever knew, or even because he was the instrument of my mother's death, but because he is the reason I believe in God; I am a Christian because of Owen Meany." So begins John Irving's new novel. Living in Toronto, an American exile recalls a childhood friendship that changed his life. In the summer of 1953, two eleven-year-old boys - best friends - are playing in a Little League game in Gravesend, New Hampshire; one of the boys hits a foul ball that kills his best friend's mother. The boy who hit the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen - after that 1953 foul ball - is extraordinary and terrifying. (front flap)
